Wherein We Elect Our Favourite Classical Compositions of… the 1960s – Part I (1960-1964)

The Babbitt discussion and esp the analytical paper got me thinking about Paul in Santa Cruz. Was sorry to find that he passed last year. He is missed.

Oh man, no way, RIP Paul ;_;

I had no idea. RIP.

I'm listening to this album of his (most of it written after he got sick): https://open.spotify.com/album/5QBA3xpLrdk22dzkxn2J3S?si=Gr7-RRzAST6Dw2XzfiRqmw

(He linked it here when it came out.)

I remember him from my brief stint as a lurker in the early days. RIP.

I had no idea he was a composer – thanks for the link.

Yes, really interesting poster, I had no idea about his life outside ILX.

Yeah, simultaneously heartbreaking and amazing.

Listening to this version of In C for the first time. It rocks!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5MOMckrkn8

Very sad to hear this :-( (read an obit just now: https://news.ucsc.edu/2019/08/nauert-in-memoriam.html).

We corresponded a little bit around 2005, he sent me a few CDs (including a piece of his). I was so glad he posted here on various composers just when I was beginning to discover and fall in love with that music for the first time.

Concerto in Slendro and Xenakis' Eonta are wonderful pieces from this period.

The one piece thing that I really love/didn't get a vote is Galina Ustvolskaya's Duet for Violin and Piano (1964). Savage piece.

"Eonta" is fantastic.

Oh wow, I just scrolled back to learn that Paul in SC had passed via this thread. He was a theory prof at UCSC, some of his former students were in The Fucking Champs, Estradasphere & others. RIP Paul.
